      idk what you mean by universal; this is a typographical choice. the only reason you see more uppercase numbers everywhere is because of typewriters and by extension computers. I don’t think people make a point of lining numbers up with cap height in handwriting.

        But we are speaking about a Computer Font right now, idk what that has to do with handwriting and who cares about handwriting in 2024. With universal i mean that any kind of number should look god, no matter if its a Telefon Number, a Price or a Street Number.
